i’ve been a tøp fan since i stumbled upon them way back in 2012 on youtube and HDS means so much to me and my growth with my mental health and i genuinely think my artist did an amazing job.
another piece added to the leg sleeve🥳
context: i’ve been a severe emetaphob for as long as i can remember and have genuinely only been sick very few times in my life
i’m struggling to let go of some of my “safety” behaviors especially with food. checking any and all dates on food, unwilling to eat certain foods, refusing to eat out (except wendy’s nuggets they are a safe food for me) but my diets has literally consisted of bananas, greek yogurt and quesadillas for like 5 months now and im so frustrated.
i started lexapro 3ish months ago and recently just upped my dose to 10mg which has brought me from 7-8 panic attacks a day to one maybe every two weeks which im so thankful for.
im struggling to find a therapist that 1. takes my insurance and 2. is actually taking new clients because i do genuinely need therapy and i can recognize that now.
how have some of you overhauled your OCD tendencies? i’m sick of living my life like this. heath anxiety and contamination OCD are ruining my life.
EDIT HES HOME!!! long shot but my kitty bear got out of my parents house in upper miller creek on meriwether st. he’s all black long hair kitty with no tail. i miss him so much if anyone knows anything please reach out. he is extremely social and friendly and will come right up to you if you call his name. he has no collar on but he is microchipped!
hi guys! i have had a nexplanon since i was 17, new 24 will be 25 in a few months. i had mine replaced about two and a half years ago. the last like month and a half i have been spotting like every other week for 2-3 days at a time and then im fine for another week. before BC my periods were extremely irregular and once i got on the nexplanon they just like, went away?
i had my first period in almost three years a few months ago. i am struggling with the beginning stages of endo my doc thinks (have an gyno appointment set up). it’s just so frustrating because i cant like plan my life around that.
have any of you struggled with this? is it worth me switching to an iud if this has worked SO WELL for me for the last 7 years?
anyone else in missoula that has att not have service right now? it’s been like this all day
i i started taking lexapro about 4 days ago. all things considered, everything is going very well. i have had very little nausea (which is a huge anxiety trigger for me because of my emetaphobia) some light headedness and a few minor headaches here and there but the constipation is absolutely killing me right now.
what did you guys do to help with that if you did experience this with lexapro? i’ll literally try anything at this point im desperate.
context: i took celexa from the age of 17 to the age of 22 and got off because i thought id be okay.
im not okay as of right now. my panic attacks and emetaphobia are genuinely controlling my life right now. yesterday i started back on 10mg of celexa and today ive been having like severe anxiety all day and was nauseous for a little bit which makes me panic even more with my phobia. i took zophran but my doctor advised me to be careful taking celexa and zophran together because they are both ssris.
i genuinely cannot take the nausea. that coupled with my phobia is like life crippling and preventing me from like completely normal tasks. when i was on it at 17 i had NO side effects at all other than my over all mental health was 10x better and it helped with suicidal thoughts but i don’t know how im going to continue to take this while it makes my stomach so upset
what would you guys recommend? should i go back to my doc and try something else?
